  • 재배지와 고도에 따른 블랙초크베리 'Nero'의 생육 시기, 수체 생육 및 과실 특성을 구명하여 육종 및 재배 생리 연구에 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행하였다. 2014년 재배지별 블랙초크베리 생육 시기 및 수체 생육은 네 재배 지역(단양, 옥천, 영동, 금산)의 기상 환경에 관계없이 유사했다. 재배지별 과실특성은 십립중과 안토시아닌 함량에서 유의적인 차이가 나타났는데 이는 각각 전정방법과 관수 등의 재배 기술과 수확 전 일교차 급증의 영향으로 추측되었다. 2014년과 2015년 고도별 블랙 초크베리 'Nero'의 생육 시기 및 수체 생육은 유사하게 나타났지만, 과실 특성은 기온이 높은 저지대(117 m)에서 생산된 과실의 가용성고형물이 고지대(342 m)보다 높았던 반면, 산도는 고지대가 높았다. 안토시아닌 함량은 2014년과 2015년 8월 중순까지 증가하다가 고도별로 차이는 있으나 이후부터 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 재배지와 고도별 블랙초크베리 'Nero'의 수체 생육 및 생육 시기는 차이가 없어 국내 환경에서 재배가 용이한 것으로 생각되며, 수확 시기별 과실 특성을 고려할 때 단양 지역의 블랙초크베리의 최적 수확 시기는 8월 8-19일로 판단되었다.

  • A new ion transport code for planetary ionospheric studies has been developed with consideration of velocity differences among ion species involving ion-ion collision. Most of previous planetary ionosphere models assumed that ions diffuse through non-moving ion and neutral background in order to consolidate continuity and momentum equations for ions into a simple set of diffusion equations. The simplification may result in unreliable density profiles of ions at high altitudes where ion velocities are fast and their velocity differences are significant enough to cause inaccuracy when computing ion-ion collision. A new code solves explicitly one-dimensional continuity and momentum equations for ion densities and velocities by utilizing divided Jacobian matrices in matrix inversion necessary to the Newton iteration procedure. The code has been applied to Martian nightside ionosphere models, as an example computation. The computed density profiles of $O^+,\;OH^+$, and $HCO^+$ differ by more than a factor of 2 at altitudes higher than 200 km from a simple diffusion model, whereas the density profile of the dominant ion, $O_2^+$, changes little. Especially, the density profile of $HCO^+$ is reduced by a factor of about 10 and its peak altitude is lowered by about 40 km relative to a simple diffusion model in which $HCO^+$ ions are assumed to diffuse through non-moving ion background, $O_2^+$. The computed effects of the new code on the Martian nightside models are explained readily in terms of ion velocities that were solved together with ion densities, which were not available from diffusion models. The new code should thus be expected as a significantly improved tool for planetary ionosphere modelling.

  • This work focuses on the analysis of bioaerosols in the atmosphere at higher altitudes over Noto Peninsula, Japan. We carried out direct sampling via aircraft, separated cultures, and identified present isolates. Atmospheric bioaerosols at higher altitudes were collected using a Cessna 404 aircraft for an hour at an altitude of 3,500 m over the Noto Peninsula. The aircraft-based direct sampling system was devised to improve upon the system of balloon-based sampling. In order to examine pre-existing microorganism contamination on the surface of the aircraft body, bioaerosol sampling was carried out just before takeoff using the same method as atmospheric sampling. Identification was carried out by a homology search for 16S or 18S rDNA isolate sequences in DNA databases (GenBank). Isolate sampling just before takeoff revealed Stretpomyces sp., Micrococcus sp., and Cladosporium sp. One additional strain, Bacillus sp., was isolated from the sample after bioaerosol collection at high altitude. As the microorganism contamination on the aircraft body before takeoff differed from that while in the air, the presence of additional, higher atmosphere-based microorganisms was confirmed. It was found that Bacillus sp. was floating at an altitude of 3,500 m over Noto Peninsula.

  • The attitude control of an aircraft is usually fulfilled by means of thrusters at high altitudes. Therefore, the possibility of using also aerodynamic surfaces would produce the advantage of reducing the amount of fuel for the thrusters to be loaded on board. For this purpose, Zuppardi already considered some aerodynamic problems linked to the use of a wing flap in a previous paper. A NACA 0010 airfoil with a trailing edge flap of 35% of the chord, in the range of angle of attack 0-40 deg and flap deflections up to 30 deg was investigated. Computer tests were carried out in hypersonic, rarefied flow by a direct simulation Monte Carlo code at the altitudes of 65 and 85 km of Earth Atmosphere. The present work continues this subject, considering the same airfoil and free stream conditions but two flap extensions of 45% and 25% of the chord and two flap deflections of 15 and 30 deg. The main purpose is to compare the influence of the flap dimension with that of the flap deflection. The present analysis is carried out in terms of: 1) percentage variation of the global aerodynamic coefficients with respect to the no-flap configuration, 2) increment of pressure and heat flux on the airfoil lower surface due to the Shock Wave-Shock Wave Interaction (SWSWI) with respect to the same quantities with no SWSWI or in no-flap configuration, 3) flap hinge moment. Issues 2) and 3) are important for the design of the mechanical and thermal protection system and of the flap actuator, respectively. Under the above mentioned test and geometrical conditions, the flap deflection is aerodynamically more effective than the flap extension, because it involves higher variation of the aerodynamic coefficients. However, tests verify that a smaller deflection angle involves the advantage of a smaller increment of pressure and heat flux on the airfoil lower surface, due to SWSWI, as well as a smaller hinge moment.

  • A minimum threshold for the signal to noise ratio ($SNR_{min}$) has to be set in the data processing system of wind profiler radar (WPR). The data collection rate and the accuracy of the WPR wind vector depend on the $SNR_{min}$. The WPR at Uljin is operated with an $SNR_{min}$ of 1 dB which is a relatively large threshold. We found that the accuracy and the continuity of the WPR wind vector with height were directly related to the variability of the SNR and vertical gradient of the squared refractive index. We investigated a quantitative method for determining a new $SNR_{min}$ for the WPR at Uljin and it was evaluated with radiosonde data. The accuracy and continuity of the wind vector from an SNR of less than 1 dB, began to decrease at an altitude of 3.5 km. Most of the SNR values were less than -3.5 dB in altitudes higher than 3.5 km. We retrieved high-accuracy wind vectors at altitudes over 3 km where measurements were deficient with an $SNR_{min}$ of 1 dB.

  • This study was created to resolve the problems embedded in the formal measuring experiments to determine the earth's size in the current curriculum, to develop an updated measuring experiment to determine the earth's size and to establish its effect. For this study, pre-service elementary teachers, who had attempted the experiment of measuring the size of the earth when they were in middle school, performed the experiments in the existing national curriculum, and their responses, collected through in-depth interviews, were examined. To begin with, the pre-service elementary teachers conducted the experiment of measuring the earth size and they recorded the problems while performing it. At the end, an in-depth interview was administered. Based on the problems, an updated measuring experiment to determine the earth's size was suggested to be applied to the same contents and be analyzed through the in-depth interviews. Common themes which were mutually categorized and analyzed by the two researchers were obtained based on the records produced while conducting the experiment and the in-depth interview data. The teachers mentioned that the experiments for measuring the size of the earth in the current curriculum gave rise to difficulties in measuring precisely the angles between the string and the post. Also, there has been a scientific contradiction that solar altitudes were increased in a high latitude region, instead of decreased. For this reason, an alternative method has been developed to measure the earth's size using the distance and the solar altitude difference of two places. The teachers all agreed that by using the updated measuring experiment, they can acquire more precise measurements and it is easier, faster and consequently more effective than the existing methods. Through the results of this study, I suggest that the newly developed experiment by the researchers can overhaul the problems of the current experiments and it can be an effective alternative to the current experiment.

  • 본 연구에서는 미 국립대기연구소(NCAR)의 열권-이온권 전기역학적 대순환 모델(TIEGCM)을 이용하여 행성간 자기장(IMF)의 방향과 세기 그리고 고도에 따라 여름철 남반구 고위도 하부 열권의 바람에 작용하는 운동량 강제력을 정량적으로 구하였다. 그리고 이들을 서로 비교 분석함으로써 IMF 조건과 고도에 따른 고위도 하부 열권의 풍계(wind system)를 유지시켜주는 주된 물리적인 과정을 살펴보았다. 고위도 하부 열권(<180km)에서 양($B_y$ > 0.8|$\overline{B}_z$|)또는 음($B_y$ < -0.8|$\overline{B}_z$|)의 IMF By 조건인 경우에 운동량 강제력 차이, 즉 IMF 기준치 ${\neq}$ 0 일 때와 IMF 기준치=0 일 때의 운동량 강제력 차이(difference momentum force)는 자기위도 -80$^{\circ}$에서 최대값을 가지면서 극관과 오로라 영역에 국한된 단순한 형태의 분포를 보인다. 그리고 IMF $B_z$ 성분이 양과 음일 때 강제력 차이의 세기는 비슷하지만 분포양상은 반대방향을 취한다. 한편 IMF $B_z$가 양($B_z$ > 0.3125|$\overline{B}_y$|) 또는 음($B_z$ < -0.3125|$\overline{B}_y$|)인 조건인 경우에는 강제력 차이가 아오로라(subauroral) 위도까지 분포하며 IMF $B_z$가 양 또는 음의 조건일 때 보다 복잡한 구조를 보인다. 그리고 IMF $B_z$가 음인 경우의 강제력 차이가 양인 경우보다 더 크며 반대방향으로 작용한다. 125km 보다 더 높은 고도(>125km)에서 바람차이를 결정하는 주된 강제력은 기압경도력, 전향력, 수평이류 그리고 비발산 성분이 강한 Pedersen 이온항력인 것으로 확인되었다. 고도 약 125km 에서는 이 네 가지 힘에 더불어 비회전 성분이 강한 Hall 이온향력과 극관내 의 연직 이류가 지역과 시간에 따라 바람차이의 형성에 작용한다. 한편 고도 108-125km 에서는 IMF $B_z$ 조건일 경우의 극관영역을 제외하고는 기압경도력, 전향력 그리고 Hall 이온항력이 이 고도에서의 바람차이를 유발시키는 주된 강제력으로 작용한다. 고도 108km 이하에서는 기압경도력과 전향력이 균형을 이루어 지균 운동을 유지시킨다. IMF-$\overline{B}_y$의존 MLT 평균 운동량 강제력들은 이온항력을 제외한 다른 모든 남북성분이 동서성분에 비해 더 강하게 중성대기에 작용하는 것으로 확인되었다. 108-125km의 고도에서 IMF B?가 음인 경우에 이온항력은 하강운동 및 단열압축가열과 관련된 시계방향의 온난순환(warm circulation)을 극관 내에 형성시킨다. 반면 IMF $B_y$가 양인 경우에는 극관 내에 상승운동 및 단열팽창냉각과 관련된 반시계방향의 한랭순환(cold circulation)을 형성시킨다. 이온항력은 IMF $B_z$가 음인 경우에는 새벽영역에 상승운동과 관련된 반시계방향의 한랭순환을, 반면에 IMF $B_z$가 양인 경우에는 새벽영역에 하강운동과 관련된 시계방향의 온난순환을 형성시킨다.

  • 본 연구는 지구의 높은 고도에서 핵폭발로 발생된 HEMP (high-altitude electromagnetic pulse)가 발생 즉시 지면에 도달하면서 OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 시스템에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. HEMP가 미치는 영향은 BER (bit error rate) 특성으로 확인한다. 시스템의 Q-factor로 인해 간섭 영향의 지속시간이 변화가 발생한다. Q값이 작으면, 간섭으로부터의 회복이 빠르고, Q값이 크면 영향을 받는 지속시간이 길어져 회복이 300~600%까지 늦어짐을 확인하였다.

  • It is crucial to understand the characteristics of cloud occurrence frequency for development of high precision guided missile using infrared imaging sensor. In this paper, we investigated the vertical structure of cloud for altitude using upper-air observation data. We find that cloud occurrence frequency is high at altitudes of 1.3 km and 9.5 km. Theses features have seasonal and temporal dependency. In the summer, cloud often occur more than average regardless of altitude. In the winter, low clouds occur frequently, and high clouds do not occur well. In temporal characteristics, clouds occur more frequently in daytime than in nighttime regardless of altitude. Many of clouds exist in single layer or double layers in the air. We also find that the 40 % of cloud occurrence frequency at high altitude when low clouds under altitude of 2 km cover entire sky.

  • Monitoring civil structures periodically is necessary for ensuring the fitness of the structures. Cracks on inner and outer surfaces of the building plays a vital role in indicating the health of the building. Conventionally, human visual inspection techniques were carried up to human reachable altitudes. Monitoring of high rise infrastructures cannot be done using this primitive method. Also, there is a necessity for more accurate prediction of cracks on building surfaces for ensuring the health and safety of the building. The proposed research focused on developing an efficient crack classification model using Transfer Learning enabled EfficientNet (TL-EN) architecture. Though many other pre-trained models were available for crack classification, they rely on more number of training parameters for better accuracy. The TL-EN model attained an accuracy of 0.99 with less number of parameters on large dataset. A bench marked METU dataset with 40000 images were used to test and validate the proposed model. The surfaces of high rise buildings were investigated using vision enabled Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAV). These UAV is fabricated with TL-EN model schema for capturing and analyzing the real time streaming video of building surfaces.
